There is really no way to demon
strate that a law is bad unless you
enforce it. II prohlbltoIy laws aIo
bad and you are sure Of It, take rig ht
hold and enforce them thoroughly.
This is the way to prove It. Having
tried license, high and low, seven
wears. with no end of trouble, let US
try prohibition two years. Not hail
and half. but absolute prohibition. II
can I ruin us in that time, Let every
man who knows that the license sys-
tenn is best, just insist Oh absolute
nrohibition for the next two years.
You will then be al bic to show these
prohlbitionists just how bad their sys'
tenn is. and if it turns out to De as Dao
as you fear, the people will not hesi'
tate to sweep it away. Give these
nroh;bitionists just one clean iair
chance to see what fools they are.
rf;+ should turn out that they are
r,ght and not tools at all. that the
town and county and community are
hettar off without the traffic, why OF
conrse YOU can rejoice with the

The Fair. .

The Grant County fair now in pro.
gress Is not the exhibit it should be
'ot large and wealthy county like
this. The reason lies mainly with the
farmers themselves. If they do not
back up such an enterprise with their
own presence and products of their
iarms. how can they expect others to
support and patronize it. They are
the ones to profit largely by the CON-
parlson OF stock, produce and an ex.
change OF useful ideas. The merchant
will exhibit his wares without other
inducement if he knows there is going
to be good attendance, and for the
simple purpose of making his estab.
llshment known will lend attractive.
ness and support to the fair. That is
about the ground work of the whole
matter and the farmers should 80 un.
derstand 1t. A little work on the part
OF each will accomplish much.
The closeness of the times and the
great stress OF farm work at this sea.
son OF tho year, however. did not pre-.
vent the officers from contributing
much time and personal work to the
success of the fair, and what measure
of success it had was due mainly to
their efforts and the few prominent
farmers who made some real good ex-
hibits. Among these we noticed:

ARRESTED FOR STEALING.
Let Loose for Not Stealing.

The fore part of last week John Hull,
of Ogallah, wished to go to McCracken,
Rush county, to take to that place boy
named Sam Hill and sister of Sam Hills,
both of whom had been stopping at
Henry Hulps hotel, in Ogallah. The
next thing was to get rig for the trip.
Application for a horse was made at
Charley Ridgway's livery stable, half a
mile north of Ogallah. Charley was out
west somewhere. A fourteen-year-old
boy was keeping the stable for him. AS
the story goes, this boy referred John
Hull to LATE Smith, saying that whatever
he said would be all right; Smith, when
seen, said that whatever the boy saw fit
to do would be satisfactory to him. Hull
claims that the boy then let him have the
horse. Hull then got buggy of Hudson
Harlan. The trip was made, and consum-
ed about three days. During the third
day Smith sent word to Charley Ridgway,
who then happened to be in Wa-Keeney,
that his horse was stolen. On this news,
Ridgway procured a warrant, and Under
Sheriff fischer started after John Hull.
He found him about half a mile east of
Ogallah, on the way home, and brought
him before Justice Hutzel in Wa-Keeney,
where the prisoner furnished a bond of
$500 for his appearance for hearing last
Tuesday. County Attorney Harlan ap-
peared for the state, and F. Danford for
the defendant. It was believed that
there was too little substance in the
charges to warrant further prosecution,
and the case was dismissed. The costs
will probably amount to twenty-five or
thirty dollars. They will be paid by the
state

FARMERS INSTITUTE.

The work of the WORLD in behalf
of farmers institutes has had the eff
feet Of keeping alive the embers OF
interest in their behalf. 1t is the
determination of our live farmers to
hold an institute within the next
few months, which will be product
i've Of inspiration to the farming
class in their work during the sea-
son of 1888. We have been advis-
ed by representative Of this class
to say now that a farmers institute
will be held at Wa-Keeney some
time during the coming February.
Before the time for holding the in
stitute is definitely settled, CORES
pondence will be had with the fac
ulty of the State Agricultural col
lege, at Manhattan, with the view of
securing one or more Of their num-
Der to assist IN It's management.
That the WORLD has been the
steady friend Of the farmers Of Trego
county, will be admitted by all Of
them. We would now fall short Of
the line of true friendship, were we
not to insist upon their taking
working interest in this institute.
An institute for farmers is not
whit less important than an insti-
tute for teachers. No one farmer
knows all about farming. There is
no one farmer who does not know
something about it. A mutual in
terchange Of theories upon a hum
dred points means the absorption by
each attendant of many wholesome
ideas to be by him put into profit
able practice.

IT is understood, at last, that Hon.
e. N. Morrill,, of -Hiawatha, will seek to
be returned to congress from the first
district. This settles the fact that he
will not be candidate for governor.
This is wise decision on the part of Mr..
Morrill,. He is believed to be the only
Republican in the first district whose
election to that Office can be sure in 1888.
There are a good many Republicans who
could beat any Democratic candidate for
governor. Mr.. Morrill, is banker. Had

THE Prairie Farmer calls atten-

corn advanced to 50 cents in Chicago be-
fore the new crop is raised. Forty eight

A LAWRENCE, Kansas, dispatch of

A LAWRENCE, Kansas, dispatch of
last Monday says the order obtained by
J. B. Watkins, restraining the National
Bank from loaning money to the Western
Farm Mortgage Company, was up before
Judge Benson, of the district court, and
Mr.. Watkins's application for an injunc-
ton was withdrawn at his own request.
The more the points in the crusade of
Watkins against this mortgage company
are developed, the palmer the conviction
is forced upon the public that he has been
hoored justly at his own game of spite
work.

LARGE sections ofsouthern Illinois,
southern Missouri, northeastern Arkansas
and western Kentucky and Tennessee are
being devastated by fires. Dispatches from
Cairo say the woods are on fire for fifty
miles in every direction from that place.
The entire country is enveloped in smoke,
and the sun resembles ball of fire hung
in the sky. Last Saturdays high wind
gave the fires great impetus, and there
seems little prospect of staying the flames,
while the unprecedent drouth continues.

idence of the financial strength and envi-
able credit of the Western Farm Mort

have withstood such a terrible and vim
dictive onslaught as that just made by J.

embarrassed and having their business
crippled for some time. It has taken the

weeks to outlive the effects of the mali

OFF to the National Encampment.

Monday afternoon, the Stonewall Bri-

The slight returns from the surrounding
precincts, in the county indicate the cleo
ton of the Democratic Primary nominees
for the general offices by good majorities
but the scratching of tickets, which was
very general, makes it hard to approx.
mate the result. There has not been
much interest shown and the vote is not
large.

3. & o. r. R.-Change of Time.

We are advised that the B. Il o. r. r..
will change their schedule for the summer
On Sunday, May the Goth. The change, as
far as we can gather, is that the train now
leaving at 1906 A. M. will on the new
schedule leave at or about 9:25. The run
ming time will be made faster, and this
+ train will make very close connections at
Harpers Ferry for Pittsburg, Cincinnati,
st. Louis. Chicago and the West. 1t will
meet there the fast train from the West
for Philadelphia, and put passengers from
the Valley in Philadelphia for late supper,
or about Oils P. M.
This, as far as it goes, is most desira-
BILE schedule, but does not go far enough or
cover what the people of Stanton and the
Valley want. We were in hopes-and I'M
derstand that the ma tier has been talked
over among higher B. & Q. authorities
that the Company would restore the night
train from Stanton to Washington and
Baltimore, which proved SO satisfactory to
the patrons of the road last year, and we
still hope the matter is not finally aban-
dored. AS it now is, the bulk OF the tray
ell is forced over the G. & O., for the rea-
son that they can leave Stanton at BAT
P. M and reach Washington or Baltimore
in time for tea, and Philadelphia and New
York for breakfast. Our mails, too, are
now very much delayed and need an addi-
tional train by the B. & o. to facilitate
their delivery. No mail from Baltimore
posted later than ! 80 L. M. reaches Staun-
ton until the next evening, while under the
| old and popular schedule OF the B. & o.,
mail from Baltimore posted at S:45 and
from Washington at 9:45 p. M. reached
here at an early hour next morning.
The mail for the South by the old time
schedule was also very much quickened.-
A passenger could take the B. & y. from
here in the morning, go to Lynchburg, at
tend to days business and return here
for supper. A fast night train from here
to Baltimore and the North on the B. Il
q. would increase its passenger business
and carry all the mails that we are so
| much in need of now. We hope that the
abandonment of the fast train will be re-
considered and that the people of Stanton
and the Valley may soon enjoy fast night
express oyer the the B. y Q.
